DIY Water injection questions

[flusted 0]

Ive decided to ditch my intercooler sprayer and use the bits for water injection.

The pump im using is really powerfull and blow the joins off on washer jet hose :oops:

I have a boost activated switch,so all i need is a weld in bung and a nozzle.

Can someone give me an idea of what size jet il need?

Hoping to be running over 200bhp with current spec so need the jet to suit

 

Any ideas?

Oooooooooooooooooooooo

 

I'd be really careful with this!!! What pump have you got and exactly how powerful is powerful.

 

It's a little more complicated than this i think really!

 

I've got the Aquamist 2d system and personally with something like this I would only ever get a tried and tested system as get it wrong and you risk Hydrolocking the engine! In order to pump the water through the jet to create the fine mist required the aquamist pump runs at 300cc/min @ 6bar

But people get away with using windscreen washer pumps :roll:

I understand about the hydrolocking but it would take a hell of a lot of water to do that?

Its not as powerfull as a "proper" 1 but is there a way i can measure it?

You definatly CAN'T use a washer pump for water injection.

 

And no it's not really that hard to hydrolock an engine.

 

Can't really offer much more advise than really recommend that if your going to do it, use a proper setup to be on the safe side. Is your engine worth risking????

how much is an aquamist system!

A 2d system is about £500 IIRC plus I got the in dash display which is another £150
